BarFly's Review of Watertrough

Affable, entertaining bartenders, keep this low-slung pool joint a favorite stop in the Stumble Zone, despite its lackluster facilities. Local geezers take up the few barstools, while the 25 cent pool tables (x4), and old-school shuffleboard (x1) draw the 'hood's younger, bohemian crowd. Note to self: beer to go available until 2:30am. Small, sit-around fireplace. 25 cents off glasses, 50-75 off pitchers 12-1 pm & 4-6 M-F.

This bar is a-ok although it is not my normal type of place. It does smell, the bathrooms are totally fucked, the food (if any) is blah, it is smoky, they only have beer, etc. This is a hippie/dive bar right up at the top of Hawthorne that is a great place to hide out and relax. The pool tables (X4) are a quarter and the beer is cheap as shit. Cool people or (sometimes no people) hang out here. I often wonder how it stays in business so I make sure to give them a little of my money from time to time to help out with their rent.

AWESOME PLACE

Laid back just how I like it, 0.25$ pool tables, awesome bartenders, hole in the wall, bathrooms are gnarly but I love the place, all I need is pabst, pacman, and VP. Not incredibly crowded like everywhere else you go on Hawthorne.

Feels like...

Fightclub in here sometimes. Very stinky, no good food and no liquor but it has pool tables, cheap beer and smoking which is all it takes some nights...

I need a shower

Well, ok, beer is good; and they serve it! But oh my fucking god! Right when you step in there you feel like you've reached the corner of second and Burnside downtown. I need a shower.

The trough

This is my favorite bar in P town. If you don't mind second hand emphysema, then this place rocks. What's up Kurt, Amy, Rich, Maureeka, and Don. The crew here is top notch. You gotta ask for Beep Beep if you go here, he is one crazy cat. Very friendly local crowd.
